Some conservatives seem to be trying to be armchair generals in that regard.
I occasionally throw stuff at Krystol, so I can't be a Neo, or maybe I am just a better one than he is.
LOL!
Kristol has a certain disingenuous unctuous quality. He is a bit polymorphic as to just who is the current subject of his affections. In short, I cannot totally dismiss the notion that he is more of a courtier than a tell it like it is pundit. But I try not to be knee jerk about him. It helps in that regard not to watch him much.
